You are somehow locked out of your server.

  1. Control Panel - Shared Folders - Edit the Plex share
  2. Give your username R/W permission
  3. Stop PMS in Package Center
  4. Open File Station
  5. Plex share -> Library -> Application Support - Plex Media Server
  6. Delete Preferences.xml
  7. Start PMS
  8. Open http://ip.addr.of.syno:32400/web again (same as with first-time setup)
  9. Step through the first-time setup wizard as you previously did except Do Not create any new Library sections. Skip that part
  10. Arrive at the Dashboard
  11. Settings - Server
  12. Check the basic settings and set them again. Some will have been lost in the soft-reset.

I have been annoyed at the “Server settings unavailable” for a while. The above method worked a treat, thanks.
